The O.C. meets Scandal in this binge-worthy series where a street-smart teen navigates a world of power.
After months of surviving alone on the streets, 15-year-old Danica Herrera catches the eye of rising politician Pearce Maddox. Sensing an opportunity to improve his image, Pearce offers Danica a stable home in exchange for playing the dutiful foster daughter publicly in a move to boost his popularity during his mayoral campaign.
Though wary of being used as a political prop, Danica accepts Pearce's offer of a home in his lavish waterfront mansion, if it means finally finding stability. But adjusting to wealth and privilege after surviving on your own is no easy transition. Navigating elite private schools and high society parties, Danica struggles to feel she truly belongs in this glamorous new world.
While grateful for refuge, she wonders if this gilded cage is any better than facing an uncertain future alone. With her future now tied to Pearce's political ambitions, she's left to question how far she's willing to go to make things work or if she rather stand on her own even if it means giving up the only security she's ever known.
